@dandmb50- This is the layout of who plays who in their trip to the Stanley Cup final.

Montreal Canadiens will go into round two on Thursday night (May 1st) on CBC and will probably play on Saturday as well. The NHL seems to be slow in the playoff schedule but I’ll keep you posted as soon as I find out. Boston have the home advantage so the first two games will be played at the TD Centre which stands for Toronto-Dominion Bank, I’m sure people in Boston don’t know that.

Although Toronto never made the playoffs, now all of Canada is behind our great Montreal Canadiens.

Tonight (Wednesday) should be interesting while three games will be the seventh in the series.

Canada Olympians came through with an excellent showing at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games, in Russia and although Russia was tops in the metal standings, Canada placed a respectable 3rd, just short of Vancouver 2010.

Donald S. Cherry Host of Coaches Corner made the trip to Sochi and had a lot to say but he will not be returning. He thought he would see “Women sweeping the streets with brooms,” but found out the city looked like “Downtown Mississauga, when he got there.”

Don Cherry turned 80 this week didn’t keep him silent – And what did you have to say?

It’s getting harder and harder to know who to believe, when anyone from the Ford family speaks. His sister has admitted that she was a drug addict many years ago and it has been rumored that Doug Ford sold hashish when he was much younger.

The two brothers have announced they will be holding a YouTube show in the near future and we will be able to hear the stock answers and talking points they continue to make, over and over.

Despite all the controversies, Rob Ford has insisted he will still run in the municipal elections next October 2014, even though his Ford Nation in the western part of Toronto are all falling against him.

Toronto, Canada - The new trend on many newspaper websites have restricted viewing to only ten views per month. I have uncovered a secret fix to get around this greedy practice by National newspapers.

It’s not only happening within the Toronto area but throughout the world where daily papers are charging upwards to $10 per month to view their website online. When newspapers started putting their newspaper online they thought it was a great idea, since they place advertising all over each page. They got greedy and wanted to start charging for the online content, and nearly all of them have started to charge, unless you already have home delivery.

Don’t be fooled by the introductory offer of 99 cents, it is for the first month only.

Here’s the fix. Most papers allow you to view the start page without interruption. Once you click a story, a box pops up telling you if you have viewed more than 10 stories for the month. All you have to do is copy a story headline and paste it into another google search browser, and it allows you to read the story you are interested in.

Do the papers tell you this? Not likely, they are just getting way too greedy since the online paper still has advertising, and there is no reason to pay anything extra for this content.

Toronto, Canada – November 17/2013 - Toronto’s mayor Rob Ford has become an international celebrity for all the wrong reasons, as he was showcased last night on SNL (Saturday Night Live)

Bobby Moynihan played the part of Mayor Rob Ford perfectly. However the skit was so real Moynihan injured his ankle and was unable to attend the red carpet screening of his new movie Delivery Man, Sunday night.

He just attended a taping of his new TV show Ford Nation today at Sun News Network in downtown Toronto. The show will premiere on Toronto area channels and across Canada Monday night at 8 p.m.

He has also been scheduled to appear LIVE on CNN’s Anderson Cooper Monday night at 8 p.m. Cooper will no doubt let him get away with anything, as he usually asks the tough questions.

Ford has a tough day ahead as he is scheduled to attend City Council Monday as the full council will be in attendance and they plan on further restricting the powers of the mayor.

After he admitted smoking crack cocaine last week and the revelations of his “drunken stupor’s” the council has been on a constant witch hunt to remove him as Mayor but it’s not possible.

The Municipal Act/City of Toronto Act, does not allow for impeachment or recall and the only way he can currently be removed from office is if he resigns or is convicted and sentenced to a jail term.

Toronto, Canada – November 15/2013 – Self confessed crack cocaine user Toronto Mayor Rob Ford has had a bad couple of weeks, and he admits, it’s all his own doing. But he has no plans on resigning or stepping aside for any reason. He even plans on starting his next election campaign for the mayoral race in October 2014 in January, if you can believe it.

He admits, if he was not mayor, and some other councillor did what he was doing, he would not hesitate to take action against them in the way his fellow councillors are coming against him. Friday at City council, they almost unanimously voted (passed 40-2) to have powers taken away from him as Mayor. The two votes against, were the Ford brothers.

Toronto Police Chief Bill Blair ‘disappointed’

According to Toronto city rules, the mayor cannot be removed from office unless he is convicted and sentenced of a criminal office while serving as mayor. Unlike many American mayors, Toronto’s mayor is not the head of the Police Department and has no say on their operations.

He also reported he is starting a new show on SunTV Monday night along with his younger brother councillor Doug Ford just after finishing his highly rated radio show on CFRB Radio in Toronto, last week.
